Dr Thomas Jones, Brynhir, Penglais, Aberystwyth. His advice to Huw T. Edwards is 'Stick to Poetry and Leave Films alone'.

The Pilgrim Trust always refused to sponsor amateur film producers. Money could be better spent providing improved accommodation and better pay and pensions for the nurses in the homes in which Huw T. Edwards is interested. Discourages Huw T. Edwards from attempting to make a film.
